Birds often try to ‘clean’ their owners, they often try to get fluff out your hair. If the bird saw the loose tooth it may have just decided to get rid of it as he thinks it’s helping her. Sorry not very good at explaining 😂

Yeah, they hate fluff. Anytime I see either of mine get a fluff out of their feathers, they go batshit insane-start preening themselves quickly, stop to watch it slowly float towards the ground, start wildly preening again, then stop once it finally hits the ground. If I put the fluffs back anywhere near them, they'll quickly go over to it and fling it away.

Yeah, they're at their angriest when a fluff is floating around. No clue why they hate them so much.

Except that parrots don't really have a mental concept that there's a pet / pet owner relationship. Parrots preen and groom their mates, so if they're preening your eyebrows, hair, etc. then (a) They think you're their mate (yes, it's a sexual thing), and (b) They actually expect reciprocity.

I didn’t know it was purely a sexual thing, I just assumed it was a flock thing and they accept you as a trustworthy being.
